DH- or No DH? As just4me pointed out, a DH in the AL would eat up some of the AL teams budgets, but that is up for the American League to decide. If you guys do go with a DH - the NL teams would play 24 DH games in the crossover interleague games. If anyone wants to SWITCH cities now or at any time- I'm perfectly fine with that. I am always open to new ideas to make any League better & more fun. As of now, below is the tentative alignment & current DH preferences. We could always tweak things a bit from there. If we get a Boston owner for example- we could move Toronto to the AL Central...

When would be the best time to START the Auction? As much as I'm itching to kick this thing off- I want everyone to have some time to look things over. We could have Day 1 Bids due in 2 weeks on Friday February 1st so that Days 1-22 fall on February 1st-22nd. That would give us time to decide definitively on a DH or not- find Waitlisters if we need to & get any final kinks/questions worked out. If anyone was going to be unavailbale for a day for whatever reason you could send in Bids for that day ahead of time. Let me know what you think & if you have any input or questions....feel free to sitemail me or post in the discussion Thread.

thanks for signing up - this should be a fun & interesting League ! Hopefully we can keep it going from 2001 through 2021 & beyond.........

Stadiums- yeah- I suppose it wouldn't hurt if it's the same city like Philadelphia, Cincinnati, New York, Florida/Miami, Minnesota, anyone else who's gotten a new stadium since 2001. Whatever stadium you want if cool by me. I'm gonna keep Montreal in Montreal through 2004, then move 'em to D.C.

Auction Start- yeah- I agree with getting it going soon... I don't know why the heck I made it 2 weeks, lol... I guess I thought it would be easier for people to remember Day 1 on the 1st, ect... but I wish I had just started in a week...

American League Owners-

Feel Free to discuss it in the Forum or amonst yourselves via sitemail... ...and feel free to change your vote- just post or sitemail me.... So far...

Yeah man- if we can get all 24 of us confirmed- I'll see if we can push up the schedule a few days... got 18 confirmed now...
* If we have a drop or no show, then we'll probably have to wait til the 1st at that point to get a new owner...
I'l keep bumping the WAITLIST Thread- maybe some might want to join once they read the details if we have a spot or 2 to fill...

Sorry fellas. I got two more questions: 1) Does my entire 33 man roster need to be at or under $100 mil or just my 25 man roster? 2) If it is the former, can I draft all 33 in the initial 20 days of the draft or am I allowed to only draft 25 in the initial 20 day draft and my final 8 on day 22?

I am only responding because I am 100% confident in these answers.
Yes, your 33 man roster must be under $100M.
No, you may draft your 33 players at any time -- in fact, you may get more than you bargained for on a given day depending on how many bids you offer up.

Good luck!

Thanks JRNY! That's a relief. I would have had to redo my entire strategy otherwise.
